a pain in my ass at the beginning, but a true hero of justice in the end.

This is precisely why I warmed up to him. Initially he seemed like just a clone of Godot (whom I, ahem, "heartily dislike"). Further into the game, though, it became clear that he was a far better man than Godot ever was. Sure, he jumped the gun a few times when trying to nab the killer, but I can't ignore it when he's actually got the manhood to apologize for wrongly suspecting Kay in case 5.

Still can be a bit annoying at times, but ultimately sincere and honorable.

I expected to find him annoying -- but I really liked him pretty much all the way through. I'd love to see him show back up in the series. Cross-examining him in court as the primary detective on a case would be crazy fun.

(Apollo having to take on the wolf? Bring it. That would be hysterical.)

I went into the game expecting to like him and while I was playing I just ended up liking him more and more. Especially with his badass Lang Zi quotes~ I kind of would have liked him regardless of how he turned out in the game, but i really like his personality and his... erm... how would you put this? style? attitude? something along those lines yeah.

i just like him because he's like a wolf and extremely hot... is that shallow?

Lang's a really admirable guy whose actions are often misguided by Edgeworth's standards, but he's very difficult to dislike unless you have a predetermined bias against the "tough hotshot" archetype. His charisma and refusal to treat any of his subordinates as less important than the other is very respectable. He never comes off as arrogant or pretentious, even when reciting quotes from his philosophy.

He's annoying at first but in Case 5 he's sooooooooo incredibly awesome. <3 His "Not so fast!" is really close to how I imagine his voice. It's so cool when Edgeworth finally earns his trust. He is the best person to have on your side, for sure. And he's a total BAMF.

Spoiler:

Not everybody can get shot in the leg and still stay around to finish the case without seeming to notice it.

I find his character even more fascinating, considering the story behind his boa and sunglasses. I thought he was just gonna be a thorn in the side, too, until he started showing how great a boss he is and how cool he can be when he's actually cooperating.

Btw, he's Chinese, right? His name and some of the things he says sound Chinese...

He's from Zheng Fa, which is an imaginary Asian country possibly just west of China.

While Zheng Fa is a fictional country, there's strong hint of it(to the point of being superfluous) being based on a Chinese nation, most likely PRC. So yeah, basically he's a "closet Chinese"(though due to choice of the creators of the game) that's not the stereotypical kungfu-fighter spotting a traditional Chinese costume.

He's my fav character for various reason:- Manliness and coolness,though perhaps Tyrell Badd ranks top in these aspects.- The way he treats his subordinates- When he makes apologies in Case 5, this says alot about his character and personality.- Lastly, his moments of awesomeness:

Spoiler:

Two of them:Firstly, he accused of Franny of murder, but in the end it was actual a ruse, set up by himself in order to trick Alba into allowing Franny,Edgeworth et al to investigate the allebahst Embassy.

Secondly, when Alba showed his true color and exploited the extraterritoriality status as ambassador,refusing to testify further and about to leave the place forever. Edgeworth et al became despaired and were at their wits' end, when Lang came back with his subordinates......and stripped Alba of the position as ambassador,thereby nullifying his extraterritoriality status,effectively turning the tide of the battle. Not not Alba was shocked, but so did Franny and Edgeworth as well when Lang pulled that off.

Before I played the game, I was really hoping he wasn't going to be a stereotypical jerk who would constantly be a thorn in my side. I was glad that he didn't turn out like that. He became quite the likeable character for me. His attitude toward his subordinates is quite admirable, and I was really impressed that

Spoiler:

despite the suspicion put on Shih-na, he stood up for her up until the end but when she was proven guilty, he acknowledged the truth, took it in stride and even took a bullet for her.

As mentioned before, I also liked that he had the guts to accuse Franziska of murder, even as a ploy. XD I think it showed that he trusted her, even as a prosecutor, not to hold it against him once he revealed his plan.

And this sprite:Best thing ever, and the only time ANYONE has stood up to Franziska's whip.

And I was even more impressed that he had the manners to say, "Sorry" and "Thank you."

Agent Lang is awesome~ Is it me or is he the first character to have the guts to admit his misjudgment against a character? I don't recall any of the prosecutors or any other character to say, "sorry".

I think Godot apologized a few times, but in a way that was obviously more sarcastic.

Agent Lang, we just found out a man has been murdered from blunt trauma. Most likely from a swing of this telescope.

*Sunglasses*

Lang-Zi says: Looks like this man..... must've been seeing stars.

-CSI Miami Theme- YEAHHHHHHH!

WIN

We need a Lang taking of his glasses-smilie nao.

Spoiler:

I knew I was gonna like him before I played the game, but for his badassness. Now I totally adore him for having a good heart. When he started calling Edgy "Mr.Edgeworth" he instantly became a favorite.Top that, a badass and a nice guy! :D

Mostly a lurker now. I used to be active once upon a time.Thank you PandaPrinzessin for the sig and avy, I love them!
